Mark Elbert is Chief of Police of the Bellevue Police Department, an instructor for the International Association of Chiefs of Police, an experienced police officer and commander, and all around great guy. We talk about a variety of things including: different paths into law enforcement, the divide between the police and society, maintaining good relationships with your community, and how to not be fooled by what you hear, read and see. Enjoy!
